This post shows me that you haven't done any research on Brexit at all, and to say there have been no benefits is totally ridiculous and it is a statement that comes straight out of the BBC or the Independant. If I listed all of the benefits here it would take me an age to do but if you Google "The Benefits of Brexit" you will find a long list of advantages that this country has gained since leaving the anti democratic EU. I have nothing against any person who voted to remain, but the type of person who wants to reverse the result and refuses to move on make my skin crawl. We now because of Brexit are a true Democracy again and it would be democratic for the people to have another referendum to re join but that can only happen in another 40 years plus time so good luck with that one.....
I'd recommend reading Rule Britannia: Brexit and the End of Empire, the synopsis of which is:
Things fall apart when empires crumble. This time, we think, things will be different. They are not. This time, we are told, we will become great again. We will not. In this new edition of the hugely successful Rule Britannia, Danny Dorling and Sally Tomlinson argue that the vote to leave the EU was the last gasp of the old empire working its way out of the British psyche. Fuelled by a misplaced nostalgia, the result was driven by a lack of knowledge of Britain’s imperial history, by a profound anxiety about Britain’s status today, and by a deeply unrealistic vision of our future.
If the authors are correct there is a good chance that Cyclo2022 is a white male, middle aged+, middle class Tory voter from the southern half of the UK who has destroyed the social democratic dreams of the UK's under 30's who overwhelmingly voted remain.
